- Select what usergroups can see the add-on
- Fully phrased
- Cleaned up code in templates
- Changed and added templates.

Nice upgrade. However, I want to place the radio on every page, is this possible? It looks like this is just for forumhome.Thanx :)

You should be able to move the hook location from formhome_compleet to global_start. In the settings area of the hack change the location to "custom".

This will allow you to place $scast in say the header template or navbar template that shows up on each page.

That works nicely in the navbar :D Thank you very much :)

FYI it doesnt work with the CMPS even when you ask it pull the navbar :S

This version will be compatible for Icecast ?

pleeeeeeeaaaaasseeeeeeeeeeeee :D

Hey Zachariah,

thanks for the update, its working fine.
I have currently two streams I want to show.
Is there a way that you release an update where we can enter more than one server?

Great work! Thanks a lot Zachariah. Blends in much nicer than the other web radio products out there.

I have this on the drawing board yes.


thanks

The project has moved forward alot.
I have many users of the add-on with a lot of patience and feedback. :)

Am getting this error and I followed the instructions to a T

EX: /forums/ is where the root of VB is.

I have it chmodded at 777 and it's still not working :s any ideas??

Zach,

For about an hour it stopped updating the current song. So I restarted SC, reinstalled the plug-in.. everything I can think of. Now for current song playing all I get is
It shows all the other stats accept current song and last 19 played

Ok there are a few things that could be happening.
- Lets rule out server error first.

Goto: "shoutcast server ip:port"
- http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/played.html
- This should display your history of songs directly from the server.

If you have the same blank results there for each song. The DJ (source) that feeds the server may not have "enable title updates" and URL, Title are checked off in the DSP. (see attached)

That was all checked. I just restarted WinAMP and that seemed to fix it. I am wondering if the new AAC+ encoder is buggy.

Two things I'd love to see for a future build is it display cd cover artwork and a "buy now" affiliate link to amazon.

Does anyone know how to setup On Demand Audio with Shoutcast so that this hack plays a list of MP3 files I have on the server in the /contents directory?

That is, when there is no live DJ streaming music, Shoutcast offers a feature called "On Demand" where music is still played from a list of MP3s on the server.

Thank you.

That is not a big problem, I'll wip something up after I get ajax updates of current song and history.

I just found out... if your shoutcast server goes down... your main index will seach for updates... so it will hang for a while... so a tip... if your shoutcast goes down disable plugin till its back up... great plugin BTW

Zachariah, your support is excellent. Just love your hack and involvement in keeping everyone updated on what is happening. One of the worst things about some other hacks is there is little support.

Keep up the good job!

Merci!

i have this install and its up and working , i installed winamp & the plugin also .... i run vbulletin on my site , azbboy.com

but i dont understand in the Admin Cp where it says " Server Port " & server IP ...

how can i get music to play/stream or whatever ???

what do i have to put in for Server Port & Server IP ???

how do i get the music to play if they want to listen to it ????????

Read the documentation over at shoutcast.com. The Server IP is the IP address where your domain is hosted on. Usually if you have shared hosting, your provider wont allow web radio.

The port is 8000 typically. Ensure there is no firewalls blocking this port though. Your first step is to start the shoutcast server via ssh. Until your shoutcast server has started, this plugin does nothing.

Ive read the docs and everything .

Man I still dont get how I get music to stream or play .

I have music on my server .

But how do I get that to play with my shoutcast ????

Like if i enter the right IP address ... and I start playing some songs in winamp on my computer ....

will the shoutcast show up and the people can listen to it ????

Make sure you have Unlimited Bandwith on your web package if you plan to host your shoutcast server on your webhost server.

The bandwith useage depends on "# of users connected" and the quility of the song in kbps.

uploadspeed / bitrate = max listeners , always leave some for overhead

Example: 256k upload speed / 56k bitrate = max 4 listeners ( 4* 56 = 224kbps ) keep in mind that your provider says he gives you 256kbps upload, the actual speed might be much lower.

Bitrates
192k CD quility
56k stereo
24k mono (like an AM radio, but works for music)
8k voice
----------------------------------------------------------------

You will need SSH access to your server or have your host set it up.

I have an old "how to install" I need to update

I've already got winamp and the plugin .
Theres a screenshot .

I need to know what to put in Server IP :confused: :confused: :confused:


Where do I get myshoutcast station ?!?!

Do I play music on my winamp ???

Do I upload an mp3 file to my server or something ?? and then type in the URL of that mp3 to the Server IP ???

This is hard lol

You need to review the documentation over at shoutcast.com. Ask your questions there as your questions on this thread will only clutter it with unecessary noise.

Until you get your shoutcast server running, then you really shouldn't be posting your shoutcast questions here.

You can find out your IP address at www.dnsstuff.com. Yes, you will need Winamp and the DSP plugin in order to broadcast. ALL of this is fully documented at shoutcast, so please ask over there first. You do not need to upload your MP3s to your server. They play via Winamp. Do yourself a favour and read first.

Holy crap how many times have I said I already did that ???

Do yourself a favor and read my posts correctly before you post your own .

I have done this a few ways. It really depends on your availability of bandwidth and server storage space.

You can do a few things.
1) connect remotely to a server and transmit music / voice to it.
2) upload music to the server w/ a player and run on endless loop w/ rotating play lists.

I have installed shoutcast server software to the same server as my webhost., installed a player and uploaded mp3’s.

I have installed shoucast server software on a “co-located ” server and connect the stats hack to it for data and use a remote system @ home to DJ music.

What type of options do you have ?

Great hack. Installed it on my site. :)

Hello Zachariah

http://www.4umturk.com/forum/index.php?page=4umradyo

2-I want to display it on every page at top of header

what should I do.Please help.
Best regards

Have you thought about expanding this mod to a DJ CP

Like the mod one but with infomormation in it such as

Request line (intergrated with forum for client side)
Radio server information
Private chat type thing for DJs
A timetable

I had some more but forgot them

I just thought as it would intergrate perfectly with the forums and this mod as it saves having a different cp for DJs

hi
i need some help my one is workin fine only dont show wath is the music is playing now and the last Musics any sugestion

For me to get this to work i had to use a full path for scast_home.xml so basicaly /home/a0tu/yada/yada/yada if ya know what i mean :)

I have made a "Module CMPS: Shoutcast Status Full" , "Module CMPS: Shoutcast Status Lite" block for VB3.5. I have plans to merge the 2 and make an ALL in One operation as I did with this version.

Oh yes :)
- timetable (perhaps use the forums calendar some way)
- private chat (I use IRC myself, but I bet a simple shout box, or AJAX vBShout)
- server info (I am working on tracking all songs played, perhaps submit threads / polls on each song to a forum)
- I have a DJ "detect" that will pull up custom info entered by DJ's in the works
This only works @ the moment w/ DJ or Admin password filled in. (I am fixing that)
Good find. There should not of been a problem. I'll take a look. :)

Awesome :)

I'd like to put this in my left column though, how can I do that?

Nice one, looks great

How was your "left column" added ?
Does it show on all pages or only the "forumhome" ?

My stats wont currently work......

I still ahve the shoutcast server is offline although my stats on my atchual site is on air and im connected via sam. The Forum Stats still say im of air.

Ip - 85.234.150.47
Port - 9082

Anything wrong with that. And the admin pass im guessing is the passowrd i use to check ip logs and kick of DJ's?

Thanks
Steve

My server es Linux Apache v1.3.37 but no work, tha congifuration is great, and scast_home.xml is a chomod 777 but no work! :surprised: helpme please!
